Conte renews call for signings but warns Chelsea may miss out on targets

The Blues were back to their title-winning best against Everton and still have Eden Hazard to return, but their manager still wants fresh faces

Antonio Conte once again urged the Chelsea board to bring in reinforcements to his squad during the closing days of the transfer window after Sunday's impressive 2-0 win over Everton at Stamford Bridge.

The Premier League champions struck twice before half-time through recalled midfielder Cesc Fabregas and his Spain colleague Alvaro Morata to see off Ronald Koeman's men.

Conte made Morata Chelsea's record signing during pre-season, while fellow new recruits Antonio Rudiger and Tiemoue Bakayoko were also in action.
